This post touches on a realisation I made a while ago, just how far you can get with the guarantees and trade-offs of object storage.
What actually _needs_ to be in the database? I've never gone as far as building a job queue on top of object storage, but have been involved in building surprisingly consistent and reliable systems with object storage.
